A Conversation With Chris Hedges and Lawrence Lessig

On January 20, 2012, the two year anniversary of the Supreme Court's controversial ruling in Citizens United, occupiers gathered together to protest the influence that corporations have in politics.

In this video, journalist Chris Hedges and professor Lawrence Lessig, longtime critics of the corrupting influence of big money in our political system, discuss the goals of the protests—and the options that we, the people, have for real reform.
